Peaky Blinders film hailed ‘masterpiece’ but fans despair over 'weak' ending
- On March 20, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man arrived on Netflix after a brief UK theatrical run, ending with Tommy's death and the original Shelby story's conclusion.
- Set in 1940, the story resumes Tommy Shelby's life in exile seven years after the TV finale, with show creator Steven Knight placing Duke Shelby at Peaky Blinders' head.
- Tommy, aided by Hayden Stagg, infiltrates Beckett's riverside warehouse, blows up containers with counterfeit notes, and Beckett orders Ada Shelby Thorne's assassination, prompting the final plan.
- Audience reaction has been split over the finale, with viewers sharply divided online and commentators warning that killing original Shelby family members risks undermining the franchise and raising questions about the sequel spinoff series.
- The BBC frames the 1953 sequel as set in Birmingham, focusing on postwar reconstruction and the Shelby family's role, including Duke Shelby, Finn Shelby, and Charlie.
